No it wouldn't be because believe it or not our British friends have a 4th of July every year. Good thinking there Mojo. :)

I think it would be poor manners to NOT wish them a Happy Fourth of July if they are in this country or at a party for the 4th. It would be a pretty stiff bloke to take offense at something that is intended as a good tiding on one particular day.

My daughter just asked me today......"Are the British ticked off when we celebrate the 4th of July?"
I told her that we remained good friends and have been allies for years. I'm thinking by now they sorta kinda have realized that were better off. Some battles you win by losing. I'm thinking they are totally cool with us celebrating the 4th. So go ahead and wish them a good one! :)

It's not rude at all, after all it was independance for the UK too!
NB - a bit similar to my Jewish friends wishing me happy Hannukah, and me wishing them Merry Christmas - if we are happy we should spreas a little happiness!
Enough has happened in the years since for us to be perfectly happy for our 'cousins' across the pond, and I personally wish you all the best. You'll just have to wait for next year until you can say it again!

They are serving with me here in "the desert" and not only wished my fellow soldiers and a happy fourth but had the royal marines band give a concert including a lot of sousa's marches and other notably american pieces.

There's NOTHING wrong with wishing them a happy Fourth of July! (Just don't wish them a happy Independence Day!!!!)

Well, on the other hand, they, in retrospect, probably celebrate the fact they don't have to contend with all the crap going on nowadays.
Good reasons to celebrate: They don't have Jimmy Carter, Rush Limbaugh, Eminem, Snoop Dog, or Greta Van Sustern.

Not if they reside in the U.S. They get to take the holiday just like everyone else.
I'm from Canada, and we just celebrated Canada Day. My boyfriend's mother is British and she took the holiday.
